zeropaid.com— First the Australian ISP Exetel, now the Malaysian ISP TM Net has decided to throttle P2P traffic as well. TM Net has started throttling P2P traffic by as much as 90%. Looks like dial-up speeds are back.

Their so called unlimited broadband service is actually very limited. Hell, it is limited 24 hours a day because they throttle customers like me who are paying the service for speed, not just to surf & chat! They actually even have the nerve to put the tag "Best Broadband Provider Service" in their advertisements! I hope somebody will sue their ass for false advertising because they never mentioned anything about throttling P2P in their Terms & Conditions when we signed up for the service.
couldn't bit torrent anymore,bt speed goes to less than 5kbmaybe they would let us bt later when this digg appeared on front page (to shut our mouth), then later they throttle again.i notice the http download doesn't get throttle, maybe we should shift to http based download.
WELL it is mainly P2P for most users, I have been getting horrible speeds on BT as low as 1KB/sec total with negligible upload (ruining my ratio) but my HTTP is still restricted to 30KB/sec with nothing else accessing the Internet connection. I am supposedly connected at 2MB/sec now by the way (what a joke that is). I have found limited success with HTTP-tunnel but the private trackers I use won't let my me update when I'm using that.Strangest thing is that, for very limited periods(1-3 hours), both my P2P and HTTP speeds go through the roof, giving me a false sense of relief that I have real Internet connection again. Its like some sad form of torture, just letting you know how fast your connection SHOULD be.
TMnet is our sole ISP only because our corrupt Malaysian government let them monopolize the market. If the market was open to all competitors including foreigners, that pathetic poor excuse of an ISP will be out of business within a week!
